Wasabi Protocol, a DeFi platform that allows users to trade long tail assets (such as NFTs and meme coins) with leverage, today announced a strategic partnership with OpenOcean, a full-fledged DeFi and CeFi aggregator that provides users with the best swap prices and highest trading efficiency on decentralized and centralized exchanges. According to an x-post shared today, the partnership enabled Wasabi to integrate its Prop AMM (professional automated market maker) with OpenOcean’s DEX and CEX aggregator to provide Wasabi with deep cross-chain liquidity.
Due to a lack of on-chain financial infrastructure for long-tail assets, the Wasabi Protocol was launched in 2024 to provide effective pricing information on such digital assets. Wasabi’s on-chain leverage protocol allows users to long, short, and stake NFTs and meme coins with up to 10x leverage.
Wasabi’s Prop AMM is now integrated within @OpenOceanGlobal.
OpenOcean is the most reaching DEX aggregator, integrating most liquidity sources from a wide range of blockchains into one seamless trading interface.

Wasabi uses OpenOcean to provide DEX and CEX services to users
The above partnership means Wasabi uses OpenOcean’s modular exchange infrastructure to give its leveraged trading platform access to support from various decentralized and centralized liquidity pool providers. The alliance means that Wasabi’s leveraged trading protocol now has access to CEXs and DEXs connected to OpenOcean’s modular infrastructure.
A major challenge facing traders and users of digital assets is the fragmentation of on-chain liquidity, resulting in trading and transaction inefficiencies. OpenOcean solves this problem by using its aggregator infrastructure to provide users with access to different sources of liquidity in a unified hub. It functions as a liquidity aggregator for both decentralized and centralized markets and also for various blockchain networks. Since its launch in 2020, OpenOcean has continued to integrate into major public networks including Ethereum, BNBChain, Avalanche, and several others, as well as connecting to various CEXs (centralized exchanges) such as Binance and Coinbase, among others. By offering a range of tools across multiple chains and several unique DEX and CEX liquidity sources, OpenOcean provides crypto users with the seamless ability to execute cross-chain tokens on various decentralized and centralized platforms, with access to the best interest rate swaps, better prices and less slippage.
With the above partnership, the integration of OpenOcean gives Wasabi the ability to host several multi-asset DEX and CEX exchanges on its leveraged trading platform, making it a cross-chain digital asset liquidity provider.
Unlocking cross-chain liquidity opportunities
This technical integration of Wasabi into OpenOcean is Wasabi’s strategy to introduce a stable, cost-effective, fast and secure cross-chain DEX and CEX trading experience on its leverage trading protocol.
This collaboration shows that one of Wasabi’s key objectives is to enable integration with major cross-chain transaction networks and liquidity providers such as OpenOcean and several others. The partnership with OpenOcean delivers advanced value to users at both the institutional and retail levels, allowing Wasabi users to now access a variety of multi-chain assets with low transaction fees, high processing speed, advanced security and low slippage.
